BYOD REMINDER FOR STUDENTS GRADES 8-12

Dear 8-12th grade parent,

This is a reminder that grades 8-12 are transitioning to a Bring Your Own Device Program for the 2016-17 school year. Students in these grades will be required to provide their own computers for use in school and home. A letter announcing this change was originally sent home on April 8th. The full text of this letter, with minor revisions, is below:

Starting in the 2016-17 school year, Voyager will be moving to a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) model for student computing in grades 8-12. This means that students and their families will provide, own, and maintain their own computers for use in school and at home. Voyager will no longer provide devices to students, except in cases of demonstrated financial need. We believe that this is the correct strategy for sustaining a student computing program that has become essential to instruction and learning at Voyager.

We have outlined the details and expectations of the program below.

Every student in grades 8-12 has a personal computing device.

Each student brings his or her fully-charged device to school each day. This is considered a part of general preparedness to learn.

Voyager maintains a sufficient pool of short-term loaner devices.

The BYOD program is not a barrier to learning. If a student’s family is financially unable to provide a device, Voyager will provide one to the student.

We hope you are enjoying your summer break! Final grades and final report cards will be available by the end of today in Powerschool and we anticipate AP scores being available mid summer. We are working on all our new schedules for classes and registrations this week. Back to school open houses have been posted and you should receive an updated invitation for all new 9th grade students. Freshman orientation will take place the week before school starts this year instead of the first day of school. More information to follow.

Camps are running smoothly and going great! If you still want to register a student for the Voyager Camp, please let us know.

Please note that our campus will be closed in the offices during the week of July 4th from 7/4-7/8. We are available during the week Monday–Thursday from 9-2 if you need any assistance and our care program runs through 6:00 pm as usual.

As some of you may have heard, my family will be moving back to Florida to be closer to our extended family. Rest assured that although this is best for our children, I will still be serving as Managing Director and available on campus. We have made great strides these past two years and will continue to grow together! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email or call me anytime.

Board Update:

The Board met for it’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting on May 19th. Many members of Voyager’s Science Olympiad teams , along with their leaders and family members, attended the meeting. We were delighted to learn more about the program and hear about this year’s accomplishments. The program continues to grow and win!

As is standard, Jennifer Lucas and the principals each reported on school accomplishments and plans. With summer just around the corner at that point, high school graduation as well as multiple summer camps to be hosted at Voyager were some of the highlights. As part of it’s summer goals, the Board will be working on updating Voyager’s vision and strategic plan.

The next Board meeting will be held June 23rd at 5:15pm at the high school. All are welcome to attend.

Care Update:

Our new arrival/dismissal and carline map will be posted for your convenience on Wednesday. We will send out a sign up genius for sibling arrival/dismissal in July. If you have any questions about our early and after care program please email lboney@voyageracademy.net.

Schools Updates:

Please check our calendars for Back to School open houses. High School will publish Freshman Orientation soon!
